No More Belaboring Over Obama

"Mayor Martin J. Walsh said Wednesday night his proudest day in office came Monday when his mother was greeted by President Obama with a hug. Mary Walsh was so overcome, the mayor said, that she left the room and cried."I do that every morning about a third of the way through a Globe.

WASHINGTON — Federal scientists said Wednesday that they expect nuisance flooding to increase in many places along the nation’s coasts in coming months.

A combination of sea level rise from human caused global warming and the giant El Nino will likely combine to increase the type of minor street flooding that causes much inconvenience but no major damage, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and it’s likely to be the worst in the Mid-Atlantic region where nuisance floods could happen about once a week from New Jersey to North Carolina.I no longer believe in NOAA. Been wrong too many times. Sorry.

The nuisance flood season runs mostly from fall to early spring.

NOAA oceanographer William Sweet examined data going back to 1920 in some cases and found the flooding is not only increasing with climate change and rising seas.

However, he said, ‘‘some of these areas you can get it with no rain at all — high-tide flooding.’’I thought it was melting ice caps that were doing it, at least, that's what I been told by the same sources.

The report did not indicate that Boston or Providence would experience increased nuisance flooding.Isn't Boston sinking?Yeah, it's happening everywhere else but where you are. Puh-leeze!
